Concussion Rehabilitation
Concussions are complicated injuries with a wide variety of outcomes and symptoms. Because each concussion is unique, every concussion should be treated differently. Symptoms of concussions can appear immediately or may not be apparent for days, or even weeks after the initial injury. If you think you or someone you know has suffered a concussion, it is important to seek medical attention right away.
CONCUSSION REHABILITATION THERAPY
Our specialty outpatient clinics provide education and care for concussions with the most current research-based approaches. Our mission with concussion rehabilitation is to help you achieve a safe return to your prior level of function as quickly and efficiently as possible.
While appropriate rest is a vital component of concussion care, new research supports an active recovery approach. Our therapists have expertise in training in this approach, and your care will consist of finding the right activity level for you at each visit, which promotes safe brain/body healing and progression. Rehabilitation for a post-concussion injury can begin immediately, as your physician or medical provider prescribes.
As part of our concussion centers of excellence, pre-injury awareness/baseline testing using SWAY Medical is available. The test will consist of validated objective assessments of balance, cognition, and function. Baseline testing establishes a vital benchmark and helps with management if an event occurs.
SWAY- A tool for multiple patient populations
Sway Medical is a device-based application that facilitates the tracking and evaluation of objective data regarding the patient's balance, cognition, and function by our therapists. This FDA-approved Class II medical device is included in your therapy treatment at no additional charge. The application utilizes the built-in sensors and accelerometer of a smartphone to gather data in a three-dimensional space. The data is kept secure and is only shared with your therapist in the form of detailed reports to help formulate the best treatment plan for your symptoms.
